How to Confirm Your Voters Registration Status (2024 Update)

Confirm Your Voters Registration Status – Persons who registered for their voter’s card can now check their status using the INEC status checker. Also, persons who wish to confirm their registration status can also use the status checker of INEC to confirm their status.

This is to make sure you can still vote and also that your name, address, and political party are written or spelled correctly.
